The effects observed were dose-dependent, with higher levels of mutagen causing a corresponding increase in transcriptional errors. Hidden mistakes may be costly to health ...

Most errors that arise during DNA replication can be corrected by DNA polymerase proofreading or by post-replication mismatch repair (MMR). Inactivation of both mutation-avoidance systems results ...
